where are curling rocks made

Most high‑quality curling rocks are made from very specific types of granite quarried in only a couple of places in the world, mainly in the UK.

Quick Scoop

• The classic source is Ailsa Craig , a small uninhabited island off the west coast of Scotland; its Blue Hone and Common Green granite are famous for top‑level curling stones.

• Another key source is Trefor Quarry in North Wales, which supplies a different but similarly durable granite also used for curling rocks.

• The stones are then manufactured in Scotland , most famously by Kays Curling in Mauchline, Ayrshire, which hand‑crafts the rocks used in Olympic and World Championship play.

So, in short: curling rocks are made from special low‑water‑absorption granite quarried on Ailsa Craig in Scotland and at Trefor Quarry in Wales, and they’re shaped and finished mainly in workshops in Scotland.
